Now Ranaldo, who releases his ninth solo LP ‘Between The Times And The Tides’ on March 20, has told Rolling Stone that he does not believe the band will play together again anytime soon.

Speaking after the band’s tour of South America, he said:

It kind of remains to be seen at this point what happens to the future. I think they are certainly the last shows for a while and I guess I’d just leave it at that.

The guitarist went on to add: “I’m feeling optimistic about the future no matter what happens at this point. I mean, every band runs its course.”

He continued: “We’ve been together way longer than any of us ever imagined would happen and it’s been for the most part an incredibly pleasurable ride. There’s still a lot of stuff we’re going to continue to do.”
